Abstract

The article examines the theoretical issues of assessing the effectiveness of projects for transforming the frameworks of the socio-economic space, clarifies the content of the corresponding categories. The socio-economic space is considered as a public good of a special kind, which is a bundle of utilities tied to a specific territory and is conditioned by the action of such factors as a favorable geographical location, a favorable ecological situation, high rates of job growth, etc. The quality of the socio-economic space is determined by the degree of satisfaction with it on the part of the population and enterprises of a given territory. Taking into account the peculiarities of population settlement and the degree of development of the country’s territory, a frame model of their development is proposed, when it is aimed at reducing disproportions, fully using the existing potential and improving the quality of life of the population. To assess the effectiveness of socio-economic space as a whole, it is proposed to supplement the existing methodology for assessing the quality of the urban environment with a sociological survey of the population and calculating the costs of creating the necessary infrastructure and ensuring a favorable ecological environment. Of the many existing projects for the development of socio-economic space, those that provide services to a larger population at a lower cost are selected and are recognized as priority by most of the population.
